My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Quick Hits 

--Scott McClellan Wrote A Book

I hear the working subtitle, scrapped at the last minute, was "These Guys Wouldn't Listen To Me, Either."

Seriously, though, is there any spectacle more predictable or depressing than watching mediocrities make last, desparate grasps for media love at the expense of the people who put them in the positions that they so did not deserve? McClellan was a bad PS, the Left mocked him and regularly tied him in knots, and he may almost single-handedly be the face and reason for the collapse of the Republican Party.

But, by all means, come back to the limelight to stab your boss and friend in the back one more time.

--Colorado Charter School One of Nation's Best Schools (courtesy Denise)

Peak to Peak High School is a Newsweek Top 100 High School, ranking as the 40th best high school in the nation out of 27,000 public high schools. Peak to Peak is the only Colorado school to rank in the top 100. This follows Peak to Peak High School’s ranking by U.S. News & World Report as a 2008 Gold Medal School, ranked 47th in the nation, and 5280 magazine as the best high school in the seven-county Denver metro area.

--If It Walks With The Ducks, and Eats With The Ducks, and Funnels Money To The Ducks . . .

. . . is it safe to assume that he's a Radical, too?

[Their relationship spans decades. Pfleger has given money to Obama's campaigns and Obama as a state legislator directed at least $225,000 towards social programs at St. Sabina's, according to the Chicago Tribune. ]

Add Pfleger to the list of friends that Obama has to disown that includes Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Tony Rezko.

--At Some Point, It's Not A Bad Stretch--You're Just A Bad Team

The Rockies--the National League Champion Colorado Rockies--are going through a bit of a tough stretch.

To say the least.

Sure, they have three starters on the DL, but . . . when your batting average with runners in scoring position is hovering just above the Mendoza Line and your bullpen ERA is in double digits, that's not just bad luck. That's bad baseball.

And we here in Colorado know bad baseball when we see it, last September notwithstanding.
